She went on to say: “Are we going to talk about this or am I going to have to kill somebody?”

In response, Butler asked Mohamed if she thought that was a wise comment to make, to which she said: “I don’t care, I will kill you anyway,” The Mirror reported.

While Butler has not publicly commented on the development in the case, some of her fellow Labour politicians have expressed their concern over the incident and support for the Brent MP.

Responding to the news, Harriet Harman, Labour MP for Camberwell and Peckham, tweeted: “This is terrifying threat to @DawnButlerBrent but also threat to our democracy. Important for every person in this country who believes that we are governed by elections not by thuggery & threats! Solidarity to Dawn!”
